Ti Consulting - Delivering In-depth and High Value Results

Ti Consulting specialises in tailored solutions for the transport and logistics industry. We provide bespoke analysis for many of the world's leading transport and logistics providers, manufacturers, consultancies and banks including in-depth market, competitor or attitudinal intelligence, based on primary and secondary data collection

The types of projects we have covered include:

Mergers and acquisitions

Assistance with corporate strategic planning and acquisition strategy

Research into companies operating in defined markets

Identification of likely targets meeting the acquisition criteria

Reviewing the publicly available information on the targets

Assistance with due diligence e.g. reviewing the integrity of business plans, testing financial models plus assessing trends in the market and how they impact on the target companies' prospects.

Market surveys specialist

Many of the projects which we have undertaken involve face-to-face, telephone or electronic surveys – or indeed a combination of all three – depending on the client's needs.

Sometimes the only way to achieve the necessary levels of market or competitor intelligence is to conduct interviews in-country and our consultants have travelled to markets as wide ranging as Mexico, Vietnam, Japan, Russia and Jordan to undertake such projects. Their extensive industry knowledge allows them to build relationships with their interviewees, probe deeply and gain high levels of value from each interview.

When large scale surveying is necessary, we are able to provide multilingual/foreign language researchers using CATI-enabled workstations, managed and quality controlled on a day-to-day basis by our Senior Consultants. Smaller telephone canvassing projects are run in-house.

If a quick market overview is required, then an electronic survey may be best suited. Our experience of developing questionnaires and a database of 25,000 industry executives allows us to gain market intelligence in a very short time scale.

The types of survey we have conducted include:

Customer Satisfaction

Brand awareness

Attitudinal, usage and perception

Gap analysis

Competitor Intelligence

Employee feedback
